const port = 5000;

// Body parser
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

// Home route
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.status(200);
  request.get(req.query.podcastUrl)
    .pipe(replaceStream(`<itunes:author><![CDATA[${req.query.podcastName}]]></itunes:author>`,
   `<itunes:author><![CDATA[${req.query.podcastName}]]></itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:email>${req.query.podcastEmail}</itunes:email></itunes:owner>`))
    .pipe(res);
});



// Listen on port 5000
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server is booming on port 5000
Visit http://localhost:5000`);
});

Why?

Because when you want to add your IVOOX podcast to Spotify, you will probably find this error

And at this time, you cannot edit manually your IVOOX RSS feed.

How to solve it?

Requirements

• NodeJS
• Now.sh account

Instructions

1. Install nodejs dependencies

npm i

2. Deploy with now.sh (It's free)

now

3. Copy your now.sh deployed url

4. Enter the following url, fill in (podcastUrl,podcastName,podcastEmail) values in the queryString properly

https://NOW_SH_URL/?podcastUrl=https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-nosolotech-podcast_fg_f1851397_filtro_1.xml&podcastName=NoSoloTech%20Podcast&podcastEmail=n***[email protected]

If you prefer deploy your instance with netlify , here is a repo you can look at :
https://gitlab.com/aguacates.mutantes/ivoox_rss

This solution is no longer needed. It seems now RSS feed from Ivoox, adds "itunes:email" tag properly (But be aware that's is not a mandatory field when you create your Ivoox podcast, so put something there)
